The Tribes Project is a non-profit arts and education organization dedicated to the exploration of race and ethnicity for positive social change. By tapping into young people's perspectives of race relations, we produce highly evocative and honest theatre performances and art work as forums for the open discussion of race. The Tribes Project promotes greater cultural understanding, strengthens connections among diverse communities, and fosters youth leadership and empowerment.

"You have touched and will touch so many people through these performances. The subjest matter of your production, race relations is a difficult one - I applaud the creative manner in which TRIBES participants convey their individual perspectives on this issue, together reflecting the all-too-often difficult realities that leave a profound impact on our lives."- U.S. Senator Patty Murray
